Program Overview

"It was the character of Viadrina that affected me the most. I met and made friends with people from all over the world, people I’d never imagined I would meet, all treating each other with an outpouring of mutual respect. Viadrina may be in Germany, but it was there that I became a citizen of the world."

Alec Carver, participant 2015

Workload

We offer a variety of courses during our summer program which will take place from May 31 to July 14, 2017. Students select their course preferences from the list below. Two courses are included in the participation fee, thus we recommend all students to participate in at least these two courses in order to make full use of their academic stay abroad. Additional courses can be booked (please see Costs & Fees)

All courses equal an overall of around 30 contact hours. For a successful completion of a course, students need to regularly participate in class (min. 80% attendance), sometimes give a presentation and eventually complete an exam (oral/written) or write a number of essay. Students receive an official Transcript of Records which states their participation in the program and indicates the ECTS credit points.

For detailed information regarding the course content, assignments and schedule please refer to the syllabi.
